2.0
It’s actually impressive that this book is filled with so much sex and bondage and still manages to be mind-numbingly boring. I’m only giving it two stars because I found the meta-self-insert odd in an intriguing way (what was the point of it?) and Ruggero’s white supremacist, old-money narcissism was clownishly absurd.
